Can you guys breathe?
Its all from the fires in the sierras I believe.
Anyway, here in Reno its downright unhealthy. Normally I can see probably 30 miles from my office window (all the way to the sierras). Today, I can probably only see about 2-3 miles. Its awful.

Your visibility is actually a bit worse than that. Had dinner last night with a buddy who works in air traffic control at SJC. He mentioned that visibility was down to only 4 miles at SJC, and under 2 miles at RNO yesterday!
Its bad when I can barely see the mountain that's usually right in front of my face. I'm used to the sierras disappearing when there is a wildfire, but damn, to not even be able to see the mountain a few miles away... its kinda scary.
was reading the other day that last weekend california had almost 850 fires sparked from dry lightning.They said 2007 as a whole had like 547 fires for the year. Lots of people worried about what summer is going to bring cus we are so dry and fire season hasnt even started yet. :/

we need a nice, heavy rain and some strong wind to get this **** out of here.
surprisingly, we haven't had to many calls for difficulty breathing yet.
